Looks like sub-20' there whenever you are fully recovered and start closer to target from those last 2 splits.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
That's a quite high rate
Only asked, as I did a 10k on the skierg during the tour de SkiErg during February, which was kind of exhausting and very sweaty (even if not all out), but far off from a 36:xx
I did it at rate 31 and drag of 76 (resistance 7 can mean anything from machine to machine, but assuming a relative new and clean one, it would probably be >100). If I ever get another crank at it, I would increase the rate, but not sure I would get into the 50s with it!
Again, nice effort!

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Excellent improvement! I don't see the 5 second difference with Paul's law either - I have a larger gap with the shorter rows and a smaller with the longer.RWAGR wrote: ↑June 5th, 2024, 10:38 amNew 30 min PB: 8,182 at 1.49.9. This was an improvement of 62 meters. Interestingly, it was the highest HR I have seen (183). THis felt really at my max, but is only 2.9" slits faster than my 60 min PB. Does "Paul's Law" breakdown at longer distances? I'm aware that it's only ever an estimate, but this seems way off as definitely didn't have another 2 splits in me!

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
I think if you did a few practice sessions sitting on 2:00 r28 you would be surprised how much easier it would feel. You can't just jump to r28 though it does need training. A good session for this is 6 x 1k with 1 min or 90 secs recovery just sitting on 2:00 r28.Kerry1960 wrote: ↑June 11th, 2024, 11:46 amThanks everyone for kind words.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Thanks for feedback about drag.
I also do not extend my arms fully and stop at tighs, as the rest of the movement does not add anything useful to the stroke.
I like to use low ratings, same on the rower, as I can control my breathing better. Obviously, for a TT such low rates are not suitable, so probably need to up the rate for my next (serious) TTs on the skierg

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Hi, it's the teetotaller here! New HM PB this morning - 1:38:49.5 (35 second improvement). Over the moon!
Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Apologies for deviation from the thread, but looking at the PBs in your signature, your "Paul's constant" seems to be fairly constant from 500 - 2k at about 8S/doubling. This is higher than I have seen before in a fit rower, but as someone who is generally better at the shorter stuff, I would have expected 6-7S and it is unusual for this to continue below 1k so this might suggest that 500 is relatively "soft". It then varies alot, but is indeed lower. That could be because some PBs are better than others eg 5k (although if there is a change, this could be explained by the change happening between 2k & 5k). I was surprised that it actually increases for your hour which many manage at a pace much closer to their 10k, but as HM is more typical compared to the hour, perhaps your 10k is just particularly good.
